Article Synopsis
  • Introducing biotechnology in food, feed, and forage crops can lead to significant improvements that traditional breeding can't achieve, though it faces high costs and regulatory challenges.
  • Large commodity crops benefit most from these advancements, while New Zealand, with its focus on pastoral agriculture, encounters greater difficulties due to limited seed markets and investment.
  • AgResearch has created innovative methods to enhance plant photosynthesis and nutritional quality, which could globally improve animal productivity and reduce agriculture's environmental impact.

Article Synopsis
  • The COVID-19 pandemic severely affected early-career pediatric oncology professionals, impacting their work practices, productivity, and career development.
  • A survey conducted in 2021 with 499 participants from 48 countries revealed that many experienced job insecurity, decreased academic productivity, and reduced career opportunities, especially among women and individuals with childcare responsibilities.
  • The findings emphasize the need for governing bodies to address and support the unique challenges faced by these professionals during the pandemic.

De novo genotyping in potato using methylation-sensitive GBS discovers SNPs largely confined to genic or gene-associated regions and displays enhanced effectiveness in estimating LD decay rates, population structure and detecting GWAS associations over 'fixed' SNP genotyping platform. Study also reports the genetic architectures including robust sequence-tagged marker-trait associations for sixteen important potato traits potentially carrying higher transferability across a wider range of germplasm. This study deploys recent advancements in polyploid analytical approaches to perform complex trait analyses in cultivated tetraploid potato.
